There was a burst of hurried footsteps, and the voice of Archdeacon Liang Zhi sounded outside the study: "I have something urgent to report to the owner."
"Archdeacon, please come in."
Shang Xiuxun said calmly, his voice was neither urgent nor slow, but it had a calming magic power that calmed down the great deacon Liang Zhi. He glanced at Zheng She, bowed slightly and said: "Report to the owner, there are several
About two thousand enemies appeared thirty miles southwest of the ranch, and they should be the vanguard of the four major bandits."
Shang Xiuxun said: "I understand. You go and inform the chief steward and the other three deacons and ask them to come to the study to see me."
"yes."
Liang Zhi responded and left quickly.
There was a flash of light in Zheng Xie's eyes, and he stood up and said: "The four big bandits are finally here. According to the agreed action, I should go catch that nest of little mice."
Shang Xiuxun nodded slightly, they had already prepared for all this.
After Zheng Xie left, the chief steward Shang Zhen and the four major deacons came to the study together. The second deacon Liu Zongdao said: "As soon as Li Tang's people arrived at the ranch, the four major bandits came to kill them. I'm afraid something may have happened."
Something is fishy. What should I do? Please give the owner an order as soon as possible."
"Don't panic, I'll make my own decision."
Shang Xiuxun replied lightly, his eyes swept over the five people, a sharp light shot out of his eyes, and he suddenly made a move towards Tao Shusheng, pointing his jade finger on the acupuncture point on his chest.
The two of them were so close that Tao Shusheng did not expect that Shang Xiuxun would suddenly take action. He was caught off guard and was hit hard by her blow. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground paralyzed.
The remaining four people were shocked at the same time. The chief deacon Liang Zhi said: "Master, what are you..."
Shang Xiuxun looked down at Tao Shusheng who was lying on the ground, and said with a confident look: "Tao Shusheng, I already know about your collusion with Li Mi, so you must be honest."
Tao Shusheng coughed lightly, spit out another mouthful of blood, and said: "Master, I was wronged..."
Shang Xiuxun said: "At this time, if you don't repent, I will let you die. I once told you the place where Yang Gong's treasure house is buried. Do you still remember?"
"Danjiang Guandi Temple." Tao Shusheng said, having a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, after he said this, the faces of the other people showed a hint of strangeness.
Shang Zhen said in a deep voice: "The venue owner told me it was in Bashu."
Liang Zhi said: "Xiangyang."
Liu Zongdao said: "Luoyang."
Wu Zhaoru said: "Yangzhou."
Shang Xiuxun said: "Afterwards, I kept sending people to follow these places. In the end, only Guandi Temple in Danjiang was searched. Now, what else do you have to say."
Tao Shusheng's face suddenly darkened and he was speechless.
Shang Xiuxun said: "Four deacons, take him down so that he can be guarded. The other three will follow me out of the city to meet the enemy."
"Yes." Everyone bowed and responded.
…
Zheng Xie returned to the small garden, and several women gathered around him. Zhao Min asked, "Husband, have the four big bandits come?"
Zheng Xie nodded and said: "The four major bandits are not weak in martial arts, but Xiuxun and the others may not be able to handle it. Minmin, Sister Rong, Wanqing, Yingying, the four of you go out of the city. Help them defeat the four bandits."
Kill the leader of the big bandit."
"Yes, husband."
The four girls happily accepted the order.
Zheng She said: "Go. Be careful."
…
Shang Xiuxun led Shang Zhen, Liang Zhi, and Liu Zongdao on horseback out of the city gate. They looked at the elite soldiers who were arrayed outside the city and were ready to go. They nodded with satisfaction and shouted softly: "Attack"
Kill the enemy bandits and defend the pasture!"
"Kill the enemy and defend the pasture."
"Kill the enemy and defend the pasture."
"..."
Five thousand Pegasus guards shouted in unison, their fighting spirit rising.
At the front of the battle formation, Li Jing had a solemn look on his face, and his calmness was scary. Next to him, Kou Zhong was boiling with blood and excited, and he wanted to lead his troops to fight immediately.
Shang Xiuxun clamped his horse's belly, pointed his sword forward, and shouted: "Let's go!"
Rumble...
The horses' hooves trampled in unison, like rolling thunder, as they charged towards the ranks of the four bandits.
Whether it was war horses or weapons, the Pegasus Guards were always the winner. As soon as the two parties came into contact, the rogue horse thieves fell down one after another like wheat stubble.
A moment later, the four girls Zhao Min, Dahuang Rong, Mu Wanqing and Ren Yingying also appeared on the battlefield. Like the god of death coming to the world, blood flowed everywhere they passed, and no one could stop them. They headed straight for the leaders of the four bandits.
He rushed over and killed the leaders of the four bandits with his sword as easily as if he were trying to retrieve something from a bag.
As soon as the enemy leader died, the morale of the bandits suddenly weakened to the extreme, and they collapsed at the first blow. The ranch side was left victorious to pursue...
In this battle, the Ranch Pegasus Guards suffered only a few dozen casualties, but captured more than 6,000 enemy rogues.
…
In the inner castle.
Li Tianfan, Shen Luoyan and others pretended to be housekeeper Shang Zhen and his entourage, took advantage of the empty guards to sneak into the inner fort, and secretly met with Li Tang and his party.
In the small courtyard of the guest house.
Li Xiuning looked at the dozen or so people who came in a hurry and said, "Hello, Mr. Butler."
"These are my confidants for many years. Princess, you can rest assured." The counterfeit merchant puffed on his cigarette pot and puffed out smoke, making it difficult to tell the real ones from the fake ones.
Li Xiuning nodded and asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, butler, for hurrying back. Xiuning is really sorry. Why don't you all ride on horseback?"
"It's not just to deceive others, alas!"
The counterfeit merchant sighed and added: "Since the owner of the farm got to know Li Tianfan, they have been in close contact with each other. He has secretly provided war horse equipment to Li Mi. I have tried to persuade him to no avail, which is really shameful. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Princess, it is better to follow the old man and leave by the road.
.If the owner of the venue comes back from outside, the princess will never be able to escape again."
"This..." Li Xiuning hesitated, with many unanswered questions in his heart.
Chai Shao said: "If you continue to cut off, you will suffer chaos. Xiuning, let's go!"
Li Xiuning groaned: "Okay... eh!"
Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the small courtyard. Zheng Xie walked in from the moon cave, glanced at everyone, and said: "Master Li Tianfan and Military Advisor Shen Luoyan are here, and the awnings of my house are shining brightly. Why don't you two stay a few more days and leave in such a hurry?
, where are you going?”
The expressions of Li Xiuning and others changed at the same time.
Shen Luoyan saw Zheng She. His face was startled and he shouted: "No, the matter has been exposed. This person is invincible. Master, leave quickly."
After saying that, he and Li Tianfan hurriedly retreated.
At the same time, more than a dozen of Li Mi's dead men rushed towards Zheng She, not seeking to kill the enemy, but just to delay the attack.
"You want to leave now, don't you think it's too late?"
Zheng Xie sneered and punched out, hitting the tip of a long sword hard.
"Click!"
The long sword immediately broke into more than a dozen pieces, and the fragments of the broken sword sputtered out like hidden weapons, piercing the throats of these dead soldiers, no more and no less.
Li Tianfan and his group of more than ten people, except for him and Shen Luoyan, were all killed by Zheng Xie's punch.
Everyone was horrified and moved.
Zheng Xie dodged again. Appearing on the courtyard wall out of thin air, he reached out and pressed down.
Li Tianfan and Shen Luoyan had just jumped up when they felt an invisible wall of air appear above their heads, pressing downwards. They fell down at the same time, being pinned to the ground by the wall of air and unable to get up. They were horrified.
Zheng Xie carried the two of them out of the small courtyard with one hand in each hand, like carrying chickens, and the voice slowly came in: "Princess Xiuning, please stay in peace. Some thieves can't make waves in the pasture."
Li Xiuning and others looked at each other.
Zheng Xie only had a few breaths after he appeared and left, leaving only dead bodies on the ground in the courtyard. Soon the servants from the ranch came in and dragged the dead bodies away one by one in an orderly manner.
…
After washing up, Li Tianfan and Shen Luoyan changed back into their own clothes. They knew in their hearts that there was no hope of escaping in front of a master like Zheng She.
"Shen Luoyan is worthy of being called a beautiful military advisor. She is indeed Chen Yuluoyan. The country is beautiful and fragrant." Zheng Xie saw Shen Luoyan who had changed back to his original appearance. His eyes lit up and he praised.
"Giggle, how can this little girl deserve such praise from Master Zheng?" Shen Luoyan covered her mouth and chuckled, full of charm.
This woman lives up to her name. She is indeed a rare beauty. Her eyes are like a lake of autumn water, coupled with her slender eyebrows, skin as jade as snow, and graceful posture, she is indeed a rare beauty.
Zheng Xie smiled and said: "What Zheng said comes from the bottom of his heart. If Commander Shen can't live up to the title of Chen Yu Luo Yan, who else in the world can."
"Comparing the Nu family and Qingxuan, who is more beautiful?" Shen Luoyan turned his eyes, showing a little curiosity, as if he didn't care about his situation in prison at all, and his smiles were alluring. .
Zheng Xie praised: "The beauty of Commander Shen and Qingxuan are completely different, but each has its own charm. Qingxuan and Qingxuan are elegant and quiet, like elves hidden in the mountains, which fascinate people but cannot bear to harm them. Shen But the military advisor is heroic, noble and elegant, and makes people feel like spring breeze when they get along with him."
Shen Luoyan's beautiful eyes shone and she said happily: "Zheng Shao really knows how to make people happy. No wonder it makes Qingxuan and everyone look at her differently. The slave family can't help but feel a little moved."
Zheng Xie smiled and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Luo Yan will stay with me."
Shen Luoyan blinked and asked, "Is Mr. Zheng trying to recruit Luoyan?"
Zheng Xie nodded and said: "Luoyan can both fight and warm the bed. She has a beautiful appearance and a clever skill. Where can I find such a good woman."
Shen Luoyan sighed quietly: "Luoyan also wants to stay together with Zheng Lang, but the secret father is kind to him, and Luoyan doesn't want to be ungrateful. It would really make things difficult for him. Alas, it would be better for Zheng Lang to go to Wagangzhai to serve with the slave family. This way In this way, Luoyan can not only repay Mi Gong for his promotion and promotion, but also serve Zheng Lang, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Zheng She said: "I have another better way to get Li Mi to surrender to me. Isn't this better?"
Shen Luoyan Su Rong said: "Mi Gong has a great talent and a great strategy. He has the ability to navigate the world. He has all the soldiers under his command and the people's support. He is invincible in battles and invincible in all attacks. He is a wise master in troubled times. If Zheng Lang surrenders, he will definitely be able to do it." If you show your talents and become the prime minister when the time comes, you will live up to what you have learned."
Zheng She said: "I don't think so. If Li Mi is really the wise master of the world and has all the plans, then Commander Shen and Li Tianfan will not fall into my hands."
Shen Luoyan said: "A man's hand will fail, a horse will stumble, and a temporary success or failure means nothing."
Zheng Xie smiled and said, "Haven't Military Master Shen ever heard that one misstep can lead to eternal hatred? Maybe Li Mi's one misstep with me is enough to break his muscles and bones and make him unable to recover."
Shen Luoyan's expression changed and she said solemnly: "What do you want to do?"
Zheng Xie said: "Zheng has been determined to win since the first time he saw Luo Yan. I wonder who is more important in the eyes of your secret master, his profitable military advisor or his only son?"
Shen Luoyan said: "Mi Gong has so many powerful generals, Master Zheng had better think twice before he acts, otherwise Mi Gong will send his troops south and the Pegasus Ranch will become a river of blood and disappear into ashes."
Zheng Xie laughed loudly and said: "I don't believe Li Mi has this ability. If he could easily send troops, he wouldn't send you here to do some dirty tricks. Bring Li Tianfan here."
Soon, Li Tianfan was brought into the house.
As soon as he saw Zheng She, he said: "Your Excellency, it is best to let us go as soon as possible. Don't waste your life."
"It seems that Mr. Li is still a little confused about the current situation."
Zheng Xie said calmly, glanced at Shen Luoyan again, and said, "Since Li Mi is so wise and powerful in your eyes, I will test him for you and see which one he would choose between his subordinates and his only son."
As he spoke, Zheng Xie chopped off Li Tianfan's left forearm with the force of his fingers like a sharp blade.
"ah!"
Li Tianfan screamed miserably, with an uncontrollable look of fear in his eyes.
Shen Luoyan shouted in shock: "What are you going to do!"
Zheng Xie took out a wooden box and threw Li Tianfan's severed arm into the box. He also took out a piece of white cloth and smiled softly: "It's nothing. I just want Mr. Li to write a letter to your secret father. I won't bother Commander Shen for a moment." Go back. Mr. Li had better take action quickly, otherwise you won’t be able to live even if you want to when the blood dries up."
This smile looked like a devil in Li Tianfan's eyes. He endured the pain, took a breath and said, "What should I write?"
Zheng Xie said: "Of course I will write down the conditions for letting you go back."
Li Tianfan felt happy, as long as he could save his life, he could say anything.
Zheng Shedao: "I don't have many conditions, only two conditions. First, I want Military Advisor Shen to let Li Mi cede her to me. Second, I heard that Mr. Li has an engagement with the third lady of the Song Dynasty. I I want you to break off the engagement."
Li Tianfan shouted: "Father will not agree, please change the conditions."
Zheng She said: "It's up to him whether he agrees or not. It seems that one arm is not enough!"
He raised his finger and slashed, and Li Tianfan's ears fell off again.
"I wrote!"
Li Tianfan screamed and said hurriedly.
Zheng Xie said warmly: "That's right."
Li Tianfan dipped his own blood and wrote a blood letter.
"The handwriting is good. Someone, please take Young Master Li down to rest."
Zheng Xie took a look at it, threw the blood book into the box, and handed the box to Shen Luoyan, saying: "Commander Shen, please run a trip for me. Also, tell Li Mi again not to act rashly, otherwise, I will I can't help but stab Mr. Li a few times. Luoyan, I'll leave this to you, go and come back quickly, I hope I can hear good news."
Shen Luoyan glanced at Zheng Shee with a complex expression, and felt a sense of sadness in her heart. (To be continued...)
